Waimea Canyon is another unique natural feature of Kauai not found elsewhere in the Hawaiian Islands. On a clear day it certainly deserves the title "Grand Canyon of the Pacific". I stayed on the rim for all my photography, (except for the helicopter ride which came later).

There are hiking trails in Waimea Canyon, but my Hawaii hikes ended up being limited to volcanoes.

Waimea Canyon also features waterfalls. Their numbers increase after it rains.

Waimea Canyon was the work of a river, another similarity it has to the Grand Canyon.
